XSL Transformation error source

I am using MII 12.0 and I am getting the following error in the log file:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.exceptions.WebIOException: An attempt to write after the stream had been closed.
The problem is that I am not using and XSL transforms that I know of. What BLS action might generate this error other than the obvious XSL Transformation Action?
Thanks.

XSL transformation error

Hello everybody,
I'm tryin' to transform a simple xml file via xslt within a simple java class. Following an excerpt of the java class.
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = null;
Templates template = null;
StreamSource xmlSource = null;
StreamSource xslSource = null;
StreamResult result = null;
try {
     // a new StreamSource from a file name
     xmlSource = new StreamSource(new File("Y:\temp\input\index.xml"));
     xslSource = new StreamSource(new File("Y:\temp\transformation.xslt"));
     // a new StreamResult to a file name (it is automatically
     //closed on exit)
     result = new StreamResult("data/cars1.html");
     // get a new Templates object for this stylesheet
     template = factory.newTemplates(xslSource);
     // get a new Transformer from the Templates
     transformer = template.newTransformer();
     // perform the transformation
     transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);
catch(Exception e){
When debugging the class I receive the error message
<b>ERROR: 'Syntax error in '($processedChildren, $nextChild)'.'
FATAL ERROR: 'The template couldn't be compiled.'</b>
The expression mentioned in the error message in an excerpt from the XSLT file. The entire expression in the file looks as follows
<xsl:when test="empty(index-of($processedChildren,$nextChild))">
I'm currently using NetWeaver 2004 with JDK 1.4.
Anybody got any suggestions for this problem? Maybe it's due to the index-of function. I'm not quite sure if it's an XPath 2.0 function.
Thanks in advance,
Benjamin

Hi Jens,
processedChildren is a sequence of string objects, nextChild is a string. With the test I'm trying to check whether the string is contained in the sequence. If not, the function empty() returns true. Index-of returns the index numbers of the string, where the string occurs in the sequence.
Both functions are part of the XPath 2.0 standard

BizTalk Map error. Can you please suggest what could be the reason for this.

Hi,
You can also use the Map TestTool to test your maps. It uses the BizTalk engine to execute the map. You can select a map that is deployed to the GAC en execute it.
You can download the sample tool with the source code here:

How can I display XSLT transformer errors on a web page ?

Hi,
I have some JSP pages that access DB, create an XML based on DB data and then transform it into HTML through an XSLT stylesheet. Developing the XSL code it's easy to make mistakes and generate errors on trasformation, but what I receive on the web page is only a "Could not compile stylesheet" TransformerConfigurationException, while the real cause of the error is displayed only on tomcat logs. This is the code for transformation:
static public void applyXSLT(Document docXML, InputStream isXSL, PrintWriter pw) throws TransformerException, Exception {
        // instantiate the TransformerFactory.
        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        // creates an error listener
        XslErrorListener xel = new XslErrorListener();
        // sets the error listener for the factory
        tFactory.setErrorListener(xel);
        // generate the transformer
        Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new SAXSource(new InputSource(isXSL)));
        // transforms the XML Source and sends the output to the HTTP response
        transformer.transform(new DOMSource(docXML), new StreamResult(pw));
}If an exception is thrown during the execution of this code, its error message is displayed on the web page.
This is the listener class:
public class XslErrorListener implements ErrorListener {
    public XslErrorListener() {
    public void warning(TransformerException ex) {
        // logs on error log
        System.err.println("\n\nWarning on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
    public void error(TransformerException ex) throws TransformerException {
        // logs on error log
        System.err.println("\n\nError on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
        // and throws it
        throw ex;
    public void fatalError(TransformerException ex) throws TransformerException {
        // logs on error log
        System.err.println("\n\nFatal Error on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
        // and throws it
        throw ex;
}When I have an error in the XSL stylesheet (for examples a missing closing tag), I can find on tomcat logs the real cause of the error:
[Fatal Error] :59:10: The element type "table" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</table>".
Error on XEL: The element type "table" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</table>".but on my web page is reported just the TransformerConfigurationException message that is:
"Could not compile stylesheet".
How can I display the real cause of the error directly on the web page?
Thanks,
Andrea

This code is part of a bigger project that let developers edit XSL stylesheets through a file upload on the system and we can't impose the use of any tool for checking the xsl. So, I need to display the transformer error on the web page.I see. This code is part of an editorial/developmental tool for developers to create and edit XSL stylesheets.
As part of the editorial process, XSL errors during editing can be considered a normal condition. In other words, it is normal to expect that the developers will generate XSL errors as they are developing stylesheets.
In this light, handling the XSL transformation errors is a business requirement that you need to handle. Using the Java Exceptions mechanisms, e.g. try / catch are inappropriate to handle business requirements, in my opinion.
I suggest that you look at how you handle the occurence of XSL errors differently than what you currently have. You need to:
(1) capture the Transformation exception on the server;
(2) extract the message from the exception and put it into a message that can be easily understood by the user;
The current error message that you have going to the web browser is not useful.
And you should not have the Transformation exception sent to the web browser either.
What you are attempting to do with the exception is not appropriate.
Handle the Transformation exception on the Business tier and use it to create a useful message that is then sent to the Presentation tier. In other words, do not send Java exceptions to web browser.

Error: "... is not a table ..." XML not correctly interpreted after XSL-transformation. Table row quantity problem.

Hey guys, this is one of my xml-elements:
Jaspreet Sohi 12 18 Juliane Lenz 11 17 Sophie Charlotte Stender 10 15 Rosbeh Hamidzadeh Khayyat 12 17 Lion Stoldt 12 17 Mats Lucas Meincke 6 8 Bero Luke Vincent Ernst 6 8 Cedric Roth 6 8 Soner Cantay 6 8 The following XSL Transformation I use once for transforming all "m" tags and once in order to transform all "j" tags. Please imagine the CSL-code below to be duplicated exactly. Only the "jungs"-table-Tag is replaced by "mädchen" and all underscores _j are replace by _m. As well all "select="j[@..." parts are replaced by "select="m[@...". 1 2 3 The code is very easygoing I think and not difficult to understand. As I said, I use it twice - for both transformations. The very, extremely weird thing, my problem, is that one transformation works perfectly in InDesign and a table is created for all "kategorie"-tags (all is set within a for-each loop). But the second script does not work! I simply do not get this I can't understand it. I've tried more than anything. InDesign sais (in German, so translated based on assumption) "jungs is an invalid table element or is displayed in wrong order". The second strange thing is that I can replace my "aid:trows" attribute by any number, e.g. "10" and immediately the script works fine (as there are never more than 6 "j" tags in my XML so that never the table has more than 6 rows"). But it does not want to work correctly with the actual number, my variable "rows_j". These are my variables: They are all defined before the tables for m and j are created. So finally, why (the heck) is one table created and interpreted perfectly whereas the second - immediately following the first in the XSL.script as an EXACT copy of the first - results in an error? As i've already said, I've tried really everything. For example the script works also when one of the parts "" is randomly deleted from the script. Removing one of these parts directly makes the script working. Just one of my attempts to understand the thing but this has only shown that none of these parts "cell to end-for-each" includes an error. I'm really desperate and looking forward to being rescued by one of you geniuses :)

Hah, No worries. The forum software is, well, different.
What would be better, though, would be a sample ID file, any XSLT/XLT files you use, and a bit of data exactly as you have it (pre-transform state). ZIP it up, upload to say dropbox.com and feel free to send me a private message for the download link.
Too many times there is something different between samples pasted into a post and the real thing that it is sometimes less useful time-wise. I'll keep it private, of course. Then we can communicate via PMs or email until we can (hopefully) arrive together at a solution, then post what that solution is in the forum to benefit others.
Thank you, Mike

Error with XSL Transformation

From my application log I see an exception where it tries to call the oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.
The servlet for the login screen (XSL transformation) takes XML and returns HTML. Actually for the xml parsing
we use xerces I don't understand why we would call the ORACLE parser? Do you have any idea? Is this a CLASSPATH
or configuration problem? Is there a way to use the xml parser xerces instead the oracle one.

XSL-1047: (Error) Invalid instantiation of 'xsl:output' in 'INSERT' context

Following is my development environment:
JDeveloper 9i Release Candidate
JDeveloper JVM 1.3.1
Oracle XML Parser v2 9.2.0.0.0
I'm using the Oracle XML Parser V2 9.2.0.0.0 library to apply a stylesheet to an XML document. However when I invoke the call to processor.processXSL() an XSLException is thrown with the following details:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLException: <Line 1, Column 116>: XSL-1047: (Error) Invalid instantiation of 'xsl:output' in 'INSERT' context.
exception
Below is the sequence of events:
// Create an instance of XSLProcessor to perform the transformation
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
// create a Reader from a String object that contains the stylesheet text
StringReader r = new StringReader( stylesheet );
// create a new XSL stylesheet, passing it the Reader object reference
XSLStylesheet sheet = processor.newXSLStylesheet(r);
// apply the stylesheet
// the variable sheet represents the XSLStylesheet object
// the variable source represents the XMLDocument object
// this call throws the exception
DocumentFragment df =
processor.processXSL(sheet,source);
I've included the Stylesheet and source XML file I'm processing below.
Note: My application works fine when I use the Oracle XML Parser v2 9.0.1 library. (although I have to use new XSLStylesheet() in place of XSLProcessor.newXSLStylesheet())
Any ideas on what has changed between the two releases? I do have a reproducible test case that I can send on if required?
thanks in advance

Your problem is that your stylesheet is illegal.
You're using the "simple form" of the stylesheet which
is equivalent to having a single root template.
If you use the simple form, you cannot use: <xsl:include>,
<xsl:import>, <xsl:output>, <xsl:param>
or any other <xsl:XXX> element which must be at the "top-level"
of the stylesheet.
The solution is to change from:
<INPUT xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="...">
   <xsl:output>
</INPUT>.
which is illegal to:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="...">
    <xsl:output>
    <xsl:template match="/">
      <INPUT>
      </INPUT>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

XSL-1009: (Error) Attribute 'version' not found in 'HTML'

Hi,
I've got the following problem: oracle.xml.parserv2.XSLException
<Line 1, Column 7>: XSL-1009: (Error) Attribute '{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform}:version' not found in 'HTML'.
and I wanted to know what are its origins and what to do to go around, knowing that:
- we run a java application on an oracle 9iAS and it works fine !
- we run the same application on an oracle web-to-go server and it gives this message on the client when trying to put
- the mobile server 'java environment' is a little bit never (version) than the online environment, both servers (9ias an mobile) run on the same machine (mobile is never -> impact on client environment? Installs run under jre 1.3.01)
- we have an xml document (DOM) and an .fo stylesheet (file/url), so no html for output! Where comes it from? The <xsl:output method="html"> has even been removed and tried with method="application/pdf", no change.
- the function XSLProcessor.newXSLStylesheet raises this exception; to make it at least run on online environment, we used the .jar file from JDevelopper 9.0.2.822 (this .jar is used in JDev, on 9ias and mobile client)
- the output file (via apache's fop) shows correctly in the online version, but fails the create/use of the stylesheet (tried stylesheet with xml data for output and a generique 'Hello World' .fo for pdf output, both fail)
- the .fo starts with <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" version="1.0">
- we even tried xsl:version="1.0" and no version at all
- the same XML parsed with an .xsl for html output works fine, in mobile, the attribute "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" does not show up as an error
I guess we have a version or configuration conflict, but what exactly could it be? If you need some more version numbers, just let me know.
Thanx very much for any help!

Hi,
as I wrote in the inital message, we even left out the output method or used "application/pdf". The result is unfortunately always the same. And I still claim this is not a problem with the stylesheet itself, it has to do something with the mobile's environment.
Something I didn't tell: we have 2 servlets in our application, 1 responsible for output in html and 1 in pdf. The .fo stylesheet passed to the 'html servlet' is parsed correctly (and shows the source code, because it does not know about fo and conversion to pdf), the .xsl stylesheet passed to the 'pdf servlet' raises same exception/same line. You might tell us that there is a problem with the 'pdf servlet', but once again: why in online it is working?
Greetings and thanx very much for your precious time!

Unused xml tags being printed in xsl transformation

Hi,
I'm just starting out with xslt, and I am have a small problem with unused data being added into the html output from an xsl transformation. The data set is very small and the transdorm is not complicated, but when I do a
<xsl:template match="aa/bb/cc">
<title><xsl:value-of select"."/></title>
</xsl:template>
cc will be used as the title, but aa/bb/dd and aa/bb/ee will be printed to the output stream directly after the </title> as standard text.
<title>cc</title>ddee
I have include the xml, the transform and the html source recieved at the end of this mail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Simon

You had a couple of errors in your xsl. It should read something like:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="*|/"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()|@*"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*|/">
<html>
<head><title>Greeting</title></head>
<body>Words of greeting:
<b><i><u><xsl:value-of select="greeting"/></u></i></b>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This produces the result you are looking for:
<html>
<head>
<title>Greeting</title>
</head>
<body>Words of greeting:
<br>
<b>
<i>
<u>Hello World.</u>
</i>
</b>
</body>

Oh well, yes it was a typo in address tag...ok agreed that its a bad example, check this out then,
i have a XML data that i convert to a html format using xsl transformation, now this converted html has to be shown in a html page(i use the out.write option).
so my initial xml looks like this ::

Creating an XML From a Deep Structure using XSL Transformation

Hi ABAPers,
I have a requirement to use XSL Transformations on an ABAP deep type structure.
Currently i have an API that fills in this deep structure and by using CALL TRANSFORMATION ID.... i will get the BIG XML having having 100s of nodes . But actualy form the deep structure i need only some NODES (say 50)... So i tried writing an XSLT
in the transaction STRANS.. but on using this TRANSFORMATION which i wrote i am getting an error messgae like INVALID XML...
Am i going in right track or is there a good solution...
My sample transformation is as below...
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="DATA/NODE_ELEMENTS/UUID_KEY/UUID"/>
<xsl:value-of select="DATA/NODE_ELEMENTS/SEMANTICAL_NAME"/>
<xsl:value-of select="DATA/NODE_ELEMENTS/STRUCT_CAT"/>
<xsl:value-of select="DATA/NODE_ELEMENTS/USAGE_CAT"/>
<xsl:value-of select="DATA/NODE_ELEMENTS/RESTRICTED_IND"/>
<xsl:value-of select="VALUES/DATA/NODE_ID"/>.
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
Please help me in solving this issue....
Thanks,
Linda.

Hi Linda,
    I am replying based on your sample code.
   Try the below following suggestions.
   here 'GRPHDR' is the node where I am selecting the data.
           IGRPHDR is the name of the reference.
First calling the transformation in you program.
TYPES: BEGIN OF tl_hdr,
           msgid(20)    TYPE c,
             END OF tl_hdr.
DATA : t_hdr           TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tl_hdr.
GET REFERENCE OF t_hdr INTO l_result_xml-value.
    l_result_xml-name = 'IGRPHDR'.
    APPEND l_result_xml TO t_result_xml.
   TRY.
        CALL TRANSFORMATION yfi_xml_read
        SOURCE XML it_xml_data
        RESULT (t_result_xml).
      CATCH cx_root INTO l_rif_ex.
        l_var_text = l_rif_ex->get_text( ).
        l_bapiret-type = 'E'.
        l_bapiret-message = l_var_text.
        APPEND l_bapiret TO errormsgs.
        EXIT.
    ENDTRY.
in XSL transformation
   First write a block of statement to specify from which node you are taking the data.
   No matter it is a node or sub-node.
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes" method="xml" version="1.0"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
      <asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
      <asx:values>
        <IGRPHDR> " reference name of internal table
          <xsl:apply-templates select="//GrpHdr"/>
        </IGRPHDR>
</asx:values>
    </asx:abap>
</xsl:template>
Next select the data from the nodes under the nodes specified in the transformation.
here msgid is the field i am selecting for value.
<xsl:template match="GrpHdr">
    <item>
      <MSGID> " field in the internal table t_hdr where data has to go
        <xsl:value-of select="MsgId"/>
      </MSGID>
    </item>
</xsl:template>
reply back if further clarification is needed.
Thanks and regards,

Detecting transform errors when using org.xml.sax.XMLFilter

I am using javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory.newXMLFilter to transform xml against a pipeline of stylesheets (See function testPipelineTransform in the example below). The process works okay, excepting that I cannot figure out how to detect errors in the transformation process.
I would like to achieve the same result for the pipeline process as I would for a single transformation using javax.xml.transform.Transformer.setErrorListener. The example below demonstrates how the call to javax.xml.transform.Transformer.setErrorListener does not generate the same result when using org.xml.sax.XMLFilter as it does when using a single transformation.

I made the following change which solves the problem but the sollution is tightly coupled to Xalan. If anyone has any ideas, I would still like to find a way to achieve the desired result using JAXP API's.
               XMLFilter filter1 = stf.newXMLFilter(new StreamSource(new StringReader(getStylesheet1())));
               if (filter1 instanceof org.apache.xalan.transformer.TrAXFilter) {
                    ((org.apache.xalan.transformer.TrAXFilter)filter1).getTransformer().setErrorListener(...);

XSL-1009 error in XML to XML using XSL

I'm using XSL to transform one XML format to another using and XSL transform file. I'm initiating this with ORAXSL in.xml transform.xsl out.xml. The XSL file has in it:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/Java" version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="../generic/parsePOHeader.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="../generic/parsePOLine.xsl"/>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
ORAXSL gives an error of XSL-1009: Attribute xsl:version not found in XSL:Stylesheet.
Putting an XSL: prefix on the version doesn't help. A search for help on this site had a solution for XSL that create HTML.
Has anyone else solved this problem?

Thanks everyone for th ereply. Yes, I tested the mapping in integration bulider and it works fine. Even the file conversion works fine intermittantly! Sometimes it converts successfully and wrties file to target location and sometimes I get this error. I checkd in sxi_cache and I see the mapping xsl files there. I jus had basis reboot PI server and run some cache commands but still same problem! Also, when I have to files in source directory sometimes it converts both, sometimes one and sometimes both fails! I haveno clue what els to try.
What are adapter nodes and wher can I check for that?
Thanks.

XSL-1900 error

I am investigating an XSL-1900 error which only seems to occur when the server is under load. I've managed to reproduce this with a threaded test-bed and caught a TransformerException thrown from JXTransformer.reportException() called from JXTransformer.transform. The parameters passed in were java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBounds
0
1900
null
Unfortunately without the source code this was not much help.
Is it possible that this class is not threadsafe ? Or any other suggestions ?

Using your code, compiled with JDK 1.4.2_05, I got this on stdout:
Yep, it worked!
There is something rotten somewhere. I compiled directly from command line (javac): try it to see if it is not some kind of unexpected feature from your IDE.
